A rare opportunity

Chapter 764 Escort

"I dare not! I dare not! Please spare my life, senior! Spare my life!"

Hu Mei's face was filled with fear, and she shook her head desperately! She wanted to break free from Li Yu's hand, but she didn't dare. She was so frightened that her whole body was shaking like a sieve!

Yin Zijuan saw Hu Mei's eyes wide open and her face pale! She hurried forward and took Hu Mei's hand and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, Sister Hu! Junior Brother Li has fallen on hard times, and Sister Hu has taken great care of him. We are so grateful to her, how could we possibly hurt you?"

It's said that women are more likely to communicate with each other. Moreover, as the eldest disciple of Plum Blossom Valley, Yin Zijuan is adept at connecting with her fellow apprentices. Her gentle words, like the caring affection of a neighboring sister, are soothing and refreshing!

Hu Mei did feel the warmth in Yin Zijuan's words, but it also gave her a chill. You know, within the sect, the bonds between brothers and sisters are thin. If they're not fighting for cultivation resources, they're engaging in deception!

If someone in the sect speaks to you in such a friendly manner, he or she must be asking for something, or he or she must be planning something!

Now Yin Zijuan spoke in such a tone, and even said the opposite of what she meant! This made her feel uncomfortable all over! She thought to herself: I wonder how they will punish me? I think my ending will not be too good. After all, I have done many things that are unfair to Li Yu.

Yin Zijuan never expected that her words would not only fail to comfort Hu Mei, but would make her even more frightened! She immediately asked doubtfully:

"Sister Hu! What's wrong with you?"

"I... I know I've done a lot of wrong things! I'll accept any punishment you want! You... you don't have to be so hypocritical and lie to me!"

It was going to be a knife anyway, so there was no point in being afraid! Hu Mei simply stopped begging for mercy, but her voice was slightly trembling!

"Eh? Sister! What are you doing? Why should I punish you? Why did I lie to you? Since I don't believe you, then do as I please! If you don't want to stay with us, then I will let Brother Ying send you out! However, I'm afraid that the Xianxia Sect will not let you go. Please think twice!"

Seeing Hu Mei's frightened look, Li Yu said sincerely.

"Since... since that's the case, please let me go, senior!"

The more polite Li Yu and the others spoke, the more frightened Hu Mei became! Rather than being with this group of hypocritical hypocrites, she would rather go out and endure the wrath of the Xianxia Sect!

Li Yu glanced at Hu Mei and sighed:

"Alright! In that case, I'll do as you wish! These bottles of medicine are just a token of my gratitude. I hope you won't refuse!"

Then he turned to the vulture and said:

"Brother Ying! Please send her off! Tell those people outside that if anyone dares to hurt my sister, I, Li Yu, will wipe out his entire family!"

Vulture bowed and said:

"Don't worry, benefactor. I, Little Eagle, will definitely fulfill your mission!"

Seeing Li Yu's sincerity, Hu Mei was also somewhat moved. But she still had some ulterior motives, fearing that Li Yu was just putting on an act! Since you said you wanted to get me out, let's see if what you said is true!

Looking at the back of Vulture taking Hu Mei away, Li Yu couldn't help feeling a little sad!

"Junior Brother! Everyone has their own destiny, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. That was her choice, and we cannot change it. You have fulfilled your responsibilities. What happens next for her depends entirely on her!"

"Alas! Senior Sister! Even so, I still feel a little sorry for her! The reason she's in this situation is partly due to me! If I end up killing her, I'll inevitably feel guilty and uneasy!"

"Brother, don't worry! With Vulture's message, those people will never dare to kill her before they catch us! I think this is also the reason why you asked Vulture to pass on the message, right?"

"Oh! I wish!"

Li Yu smiled bitterly and looked in the direction where Vulture and Hu Mei went out again!

The vulture flew with Hu Mei all the way, deliberately releasing its aura completely! You know, the pressure of a fifth-level demon saint is quite terrifying!

Monsters along the way prostrated themselves, trembling in fear! Humans stumbled to their knees, panicking! Even the Saint-level warriors looked up in shock! Dozens of figures quickly rose into the air, blocking the vulture's path!

The vulture was not afraid at all! He gently put Hu Mei down and said loudly:

"This woman, Hu Mei, is the sworn sister of my benefactor, Li Yu. I, the Saint, have escorted her here on his orders. I hope you will all take good care of her! Anyone who dares to harm her will be an enemy of my benefactor and our demon race! We swear to annihilate their clan and eradicate their entire lineage!"

The voice was so loud that it could be heard thousands of miles away!

Then he turned to look at the dozen or so human Saint-level monks standing in front of him, and said with a disdainful look:

"Who comes first?"

A group attack on one person has always been despised by the cultivation world! Although such shameless acts often occur in secret, no one wants to be labeled as shameless in public!

Although a demonic beast, the vulture possessed considerable intelligence. To claim it wasn't afraid of being surrounded by over a dozen Saint-level cultivators was sheer nonsense! But in a one-on-one fight, it certainly wasn't afraid of any of them! After all, it could see that the highest-ranking cultivator among them was only at the sixth Saint level! Therefore, it first used words to dissuade them from engaging in a group fight!

Of course, it didn't think these people would talk about fairness. Instead, it believed that they all cared about their own reputations! Especially these already famous Saint-level monks.

However, it still underestimated their shamelessness! A man with a righteous face raised his finger at the vulture and said righteously:

"Everyone must punish the evildoers! How can we talk about martial ethics with this demon who kills without blinking an eye? Everyone, follow me, Hua Shoudao, to kill this demon and avenge the human race who died at his hands! Eliminate this scourge for the human race!"

"How ridiculous! A flat-haired beast actually wants to use provocation to trap us! Elder Hua is absolutely right! I, Shu, am willing to follow Elder Hua to kill this monster!"

"Hu is willing to follow!"

"Jiao is willing to follow!"

……

Suddenly, the dozen or so human cultivators were eager to fight, each filled with righteous indignation! However, it was just a lot of noise, but little action. No one wanted to be the first to rush out! After all, the vulture's strength was there! As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and whoever goes up first will be in trouble!

The vulture couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

"A coward is a coward! If you have the guts, just come on. What are you yelling about? Are you trying to boost your courage? If that's the case, I won't be accompanying you any longer!"

Honestly, after hearing Hua Shoudao's words, it was a bit nervous! Even if it was arrogant, it wouldn't think it could escape the siege of more than a dozen Saint-level cultivators on its own! Therefore, it decided to quit while it was ahead. It immediately took off into the air, intending to return to its territory.

"How dare a flat-haired beast speak so arrogantly? Are you bullying the human race? Want to run away? No way! I, Duan Kaishan, will meet you, a flat-haired beast!"

With a loud shout, a tall and imposing old man appeared behind the crowd. Behind him stood six figures of varying heights. Judging from their auras, each one was quite powerful!

The human cultivators were overjoyed upon hearing this! They quickly turned around and bowed, saying:

"Greetings to Vice Sect Master Duan! Greetings to all the elders!"

Duan Kaishan and the six people behind him didn't even glance at the others. Duan Kaishan simply waved his hand in disgust, as if shooing away a fly! His eyes were fixed on the vulture, making the vulture tremble with fear!

Vulture had long heard of this Deputy Sect Leader Duan Kaishan! After all, as the top powerhouse on Xuanyuan Star, he was undoubtedly well-known!

This Deputy Sect Leader Duan Kaishan was the Deputy Sect Leader of the Xianxia Sect. He was an eighth-level Saint-level cultivator, and ranked in the top ten of the entire Xuanyuan Star! His power was truly formidable!

It was impossible to leave now! You have to know that in the moment it was stunned, the six people following Duan Kaishan had already dispersed, blocking its retreat!

Vulture couldn't help but feel regretful! Why did he bother talking to those people for so long? He should have left long ago!

"Vulture! Do you admit your guilt?"

Duan Kaishan asked sternly.

"What the hell? I didn't kill anyone, set fire to anyone, or dig up any graves. I've been living peacefully in this mountain. What crime have I committed? But what's your intention in innocently invading my demon race? Are you planning to start an all-out war with me?"

Vulture was not willing to be outdone and spoke sternly.
